@kjames0813 Hi! Welcome! I don’t know if there are any other career writers here. I write fantasy.
I bet being blind gives you a really unique perspective. How do you write description?
Btw, if you are replying to someone, it is helpful to tag them so they get a notification that you mentioned them. You can do this by @ then their username. It…[Read more]

Hello Ereki!
I am, once again, famously belated.
*drapes coat over chair back and sits down quickly*
So. A little backstory about why I’m so late tonight…
*coughs*
First, I was at a surprise birthday party for a friend last night after the evening church service, and that’s normally when I prepare my posts for the beginning of the…[Read more]

@princess-foo It seems you have a very strong grasp of this character! Excellent!
Ah, yes. Coming up with themes can be so much fun. 😉 And you’re right. The themes that have powerful points on both sides are some of the best to explore. But hey! The more you think up during exercises, the more you’ll naturally think in those terms when you’re…[Read more]

Hello everyone!
Welcome back to another edition of “Oh No! The Guildmaster is Late!” Subtitled: I Had a Very Busy Weekend.
Post last week’s results and this weeks goals! Don’t be shy!
My results from last week:
Well, first off, I created a Cosmere so I think that just takes the cake. *smiles hugely*

Karthmin replied to the topic CD Week 6: character voice {writing} in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 7 months ago
@kelly-lundgren Cool! Sometimes one of the best ways we can make it a little easier on ourselves is to design our cast of characters with strong contrasts like you did. Each member is just that much easier to remember, and will stick out to our readers more. 🙂

@kari-karast Thank you! I was so caught up in NaNoWriMo, I kind of forgot to check back on this thread. I’ll try that.
@princess-foo Hello stranger. 😛 I copied your questions to another document so I could work on them. So that’s why I never answered. *jazz hands* Good questions, all of them.

Kari Karast replied to the topic A villain who won't… do anything, really in the forum Characters 7 years, 7 months ago
I’d say that maybe trying to write some random stuff from the villains POV might help. Not anything for your story. Just completely random stuff. Good job with having the villain counteract the protagonists BTW. I might be able to help more if you answer @princess-foo questions as well.

Karthmin replied to the topic CD Week 6: character voice {writing} in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 7 months ago
So… Character Voice.
First, let’s define character voice briefly. This is important because we need to be aware of and distinguish between three different voices here: authorial voice, narrative voice, and character voice.
First, authorial voice is your voice: your humor, your natural patterns of words, your instinctual word choices, and e…[Read more]

New week, new resolve. We’re getting closer and closer to the end of the year, guys. Let’s keep up our motivation to press on, fight well, write better, and keep each other moving.

Last week, I did not get any work done in my WIP (tho I did write some poetry), but I did fulfill my second goal, and I got some more beta-reading done. Pretty…[Read more]

Karthmin replied to the topic CD Week 5: appearance and non-verbal communication {research} in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 7 years, 7 months ago
@princess-foo Invisible characters. Now that is an intriguing idea. And you’re right, it presents a lot of unique challenges for character presentation.
I would steer clear of making it apparent where people are and their expressions because that seems to undercut the entire point of making them invisible.
Instead, I think you will have to rely…[Read more]

Sarah Inkdragon started the topic November Critique Piece! in the forum Critiques 7 years, 7 months ago
So, I missed the October critique, but I’m back with my November piece now. This is actually the first chapter of a novella that I’m writing that I posted here before for a few Alpha readers to look over. It’s only written up to chapter 4 so far, but now that my school has leveled out a little and midterms are over, I’m expecting to be able to…[Read more]

Thank you. Â I would love to write it soon.
Haha, its probably not as many as it sounds. The Little Mermaid and King Arthur are actually the same story, The Wild Swans and Beauty and the Beast are only short and the first three are a series where they’re all woven together.
12 Dancing Princesses sounds really cool 🙂
